The company's cumulative sales (including exports) during October were up 65.84 per cent at 46,660 units, compared with 28,136 units in the same month a year ago, HMIL said in a statement.
Its exports for the month accounted for 26,651 units, compared with 9,929 units during the same month previous year, a rise of over two-fold.
HMIL sold 40,937 units of hatchbacks Santro, Getz Prime and i10, 5,703 units of Accent and Verna, 12 units of Sonata Embera and eight units of its SUV Tucson during October.
"At a time when we are faced with one of the most challenging economic scenarios not only in India but globally we are happy to see Hyundai retaining its market leadership position in compact cars and growing steadily," HMIL Senior Vice-President (Marketing and Sales) Arvind Saxena said.
The growth would have been even stronger had the country not faced such an economic situation, he added.
"In the coming months too if the situation does not ease off then the automotive industry here will be in for very tough times," he added.
